Prominent Debater and Member of National Honorary Debating Society, Delta Sigma Rho, Speaks on “The Moulders.”
SMALL CROWD TURNS OUT
TO HEAR DEBATERS SPEAK
Winner to Speak at Contest at Which Five Colleges Will be Represented: Pomona, Occidental, Redlands, and
U. s. c.
With a stinging attack on contemporary yellow newspapers and the subsidized press, Harold Brewster, prominent university debater and member of the national honorary debating society, Delta Sigma Rho, last Friday evening in the chapel “lunged” himself to victory in the Old Line Oratorical contest, and incidentally won for himself a semester scholarship and the privilege of competing in the Southern California collegiate contest to be held here on the fifteenth of this month. Brewster took as his subject, “Tlie Moulders.”
In his race for honors the winner was closely pressed by Voltaire Perkins. who spoke on “Politics and Preparedness.” Harry Griffin, who placed third, took as his subject, “Civic Righteousness;” and Harold Carlton, fourth man, spoke 011 "Luxury versus Patriotism.”
By winning the Old Line contest Brewster duplicated a former accomplishment. Last year he won the collegiate prohibition oratorical contest and emoluments similar to those attained on this recent occasion.
Dr. R. I). Hunt. Dr. F. J. Kling-berg. and A. W. Olmstead, formerly coach of debating at U. S. C. and now at Long Beach, were judges on delivery, and Professors Stelter, W’ood and Hill on composition.
I Iu- crowd which turned out to hear the oratory consisted of three delivery judges, one chairman, and nine enthusiastic followers of the forensic sport.
l ive colleges will particpate in the contest in which Brewster will compete next week. Representatives from Pomona Occidental, Redlands and Throop will take part. Whittier College, usually represented in the annual event, will not participate this year.

As George Kuhrts Has
Left, Spec Feels Safe
BY “SPEC”
It is the fashion, apparently, for a freshman to wear a green cap.
“The custom and fashion of today will be the awkwardness and outrage of tomorrow. So arbitrary are these transient laws.”—Dumas.
One freshman lost his cap on the porch of the college of L. A. He had only one.
At spes non fracta.
George Kuhrts came along.
“A friend in need is a friend indeed.”—Some homesteader probably.
He saw the cop, picked it up and held it aloft.
“Dulce est desipere in loco!”—Horace, undoubtedly.
No one claimed the cap, and Kuhrts pulled out his knife, apparently about to use Solomon’s method of persuading the mother of the doomed babe to rush to its rescue.
Dum spiro spero.—I am sure I don’t know who said this.
The knife fell.
Eventus stultorum magister.—Livy.
Ce n’est que le premier pas qui cote.
The cap was in twain.
“And all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again.”—Mother Goose.
Kuhrts charitably gave one half of the cap to Hal Hughes.
“We may cover a multitude of sins with the white robe of charity.”— Henry Ward Beecher.

U.S.C. REGISTRATION
DR. ALLISON GAW CHOSEN DIRECTOR
HAS BIG INCREASE OF DRAMA LEAGUE
Enrolment of This University Now Compares Favorably With That of Northwestern
It is a gratifying as well as an interesting discovery, in the opinion of Registrar J. H. Montgomery, that the registration at U. S. C. for the first semester of this year compares very favorably with that of Northwestern university, probably the largest denominational school ill the United States.
The grand total of last semester’s registration at Northwestern was 5795; at U. S. C. 3787. Comparing the enrolment in the separate departments, Northwestern numbered in liberal arts 1375, in engineering 103, U. S. C., in the two together, 983; Northwestern in the graduate school 112, I’. S. C. 307; Northwestern in law 345, U. S. C. 506; Northwestern in medicine 244, U. S. C. 143; Northwestern in pharmacy 64, L'. S. C. 70; Northwestern in dentistry 743, U. S. C. 280; Northwestern in music 325, U. S. C.
I 175; Northwestern in oratory 240, I'.
| S. C. 58; Northwestern in Garret Bildi-j cal institution 162, U. S C. in theology 128; Northwestern in Elgin junior college 18. The totals in the colleges common to both universities were 3731 for Northwestern and 2610 for U. S. C.
Northwestern had enrolled in the college of commerce Kill, and in the Scandinavian seminaries 38. U. S C. had registered in fine arts 64. I lie I total enrolled in all colleges was 4780 for Northwestern and 2674 for U. S. C.
Northwestern had in Evanston academy 236. in Grand Prairie seminary 62, in Elgin academy 38 and in tbe “prep” department <>f music 111 The U. S C. high school had enrolled 103. The total academy registration was 447 for Northwestern and 103 for I U. S. C.
Dr. Allison Gaw of the English department has been accorded the exceptional honor of nomination to the national board of the American Drama league. According to the usage of the drama league, nomination implies election, as there are no contests.
The national board has but 24 members, who are selected from all parts of the United States in such a way as to represent the eight producing centers and the more important of the fifty centers which are not active.
Dr. Gaw has been a member of the drama league for several years, and has taken an exceedingly active part. He is considered an authority 011 the modern stage-craft and other aspects of the new movement in the theater.
DR. AUGUST HUND IS BACK AT U.S.C.
Dr. August Hund, assistant professor of electrical engineering, is again back at the University, though 011 crutches, after a six weeks’ absence as the result of an automobile accident.
Dr Hund was driving on Harvard boulevard across Sixteenth street when, to avoid one automobile, he struck another. His left leg was fractured in two places, both bones being broken.
Dr. C. D. Finley, the attending physician, thought at the time that the limb would have to be amputated. However, this was avoided. Dr. Hund was in the hospital four weeks, and is now back at his office in the electrical engineering department.
By springing surprise after surprise and cleaning up all nine points in seven of the events 011 the program, the University of Southern California tracksters overwhelmed the Los Angeles Athletic club aggregation 011 Bovard field Saturday afternoon by a score of 105 to 26.
After the excitement was all over and the results had all been handed in. it was found that the Trojan athletes had cornered every first place with the exception of the high hurdles and the pole vault.
In the 120-yard hurdle race, “King’ Kelly proved that lie was still the best timber-topper in these parts, even though he was closely pressed by Owl Gansner. In the other event, the pole vault, in which the clubmen carried off first honors, George Maurer gave Bean the scare of his life when the lanky freshman lifted himself over the bar at 11 feet 6 inches.
Dope was upset in practically every race during the day, but the biggest surprise of the day was iu tbe mile run, when “Shorty” Miller uncorked an awful sprint 011 the last lap and won easily from Reid Crippen. Miller ran a good race throughout and his time,
4 minutes 48 seconds, is very good for this time of the season.
Another race iu which precedent was upset, the quarter mile, turned out to be a hummer. This race was billed as a fight between two old Stanford runners, Eddie Beal, now of U. S. C. Law and Mickey McClure. However, the lights of these two demon 440-yard men failed to show up so brightly, and Paul Wilcox unexpectedly came through and nosed them both I out of the honors.
Harry Lamport was the individual I star of the day, winning two first | places and a second. He called it a day s work ai t beating Ken Johnson and bred Kelly in the century, leaping 120 feet 3 inches for first iu the broad iiimp and then taking second in the 220-yard hurdles.
Leo Livernash was the star of the day in the field events. Leo won both the shotput and the discus throw and tied for second iu the javelin throw.
Following are the results:
100-yard dash— Won by' Lamport I . S. C .1, Kelly (L. A. A C.) second. Johnson (U. S. C.) third Time: 10 2-5 see.
880-yard run — Won by Beebe, George second. Wilson third. All U. S. C. Time: 2 min. 7 3-5 sec.
120-yard hurdles—Won by Kelly (L. A. A. C’.). Gansner (U. S. C.) second, Chesnut (U. S. C.) third. Time:
